Anti condensation heater calculation.
Calculation of anti condensation power all electrical cabinets emit certain amount of heat to the surroundings through the surface.
Please check if your entries are correct and re enter if necessary.
To do the wall condensation or dew point calculations you need to know the temperature and vapor pressure gradients through the wall or ceiling.
In just four steps you can determine the heating performance required for your application.
Based on the data you entered into this calculation tool your application does not need to be heated it should be ventilated or cooled instead.
Anti condensation heaters also called cabinet heater or enclosure heater is used to protect cabinets and electrical panels against condensation due to temperature variations.
In addition to the ambient temperature you can also add humidity values into this calculation depending on whether a minimum temperature has to be maintained or if a specific humidity level must not be exceeded.
The wattage of the heater you need is determined by the total surface area of your enclosure and the temperature rise you need to produce.
These are directly proportional to the resistance s of the wall s components to heat flow and moisture vapor flow and air leaks.
Required heating power of thermal management products.
The required heating performance can also be reached with a combination of heaters and or fan heaters.
This calculator has a maximum temperature rise of 140 f or 78 c step 1.
Find your enclosure s total surface area by entering its dimensions here.
The blue lines in the graph represent different temperature elevation.
You can use this calculator to find the wattage you need.
So the required anti condensation power is proportional to the effective surface area of the enclosure.
Step 1 calculate the total enclosure surface area.
Ideal for external cabinets and electrical enclosures anti condensation heaters are useful when ambient temperature is low and equipment inside cabinet fails to dissipate heat and doesn.
